Dominic Raab is now facing three investigations into his conduct relating to his roles in three different government departments. He denies all allegations of bullying made against him, but last week asked Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to launch an inquiry into his own conduct.
"I can confirm that the prime minister has now asked the investigator to add a further formal complaint relating to conduct at the Department for Exiting the European Union and to establish the facts in line with the existing terms of reference," the PM's spokeswoman said.
"This flood of allegations about Dominic Raab's bullying behaviour cannot be swept under the carpet. Rishi Sunak must confirm he will sack Raab if these complaints are upheld."Raab challenged over bullying allegationshe has"behaved professionally at all times"Yesterday a number of the deputy PM's former private secretaries told the BBC they were preparing to submit formal complaints about his behaviour.
Downing Street has rejected suggestions the investigation would be a whitewash, despite Mr Sunak's ability to reject its findings.
